PT900 Mechanical Fault Simulator Helps Nanjing University of Aeronautics And Astronautics Flight School Improve Fault Diagnosis Capability

On November 27, 2024, exciting news came that the Valentinian PT900 mechanical failure simulator had been successfully delivered to the Flight School of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

As a complex engineering field, the safety and reliability of the aviation system are always of paramount importance. Any malfunction may have a serious impact on the normal operation of the system, and even cause unimaginable accidents. Therefore, the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis and judgment of faults, and rapid and effective response measures, is self-evident.

The introduction of the Valentinian PT900 mechanical fault simulator has injected strong impetus into the research of fault diagnosis technology at the Flight School of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Through this advanced equipment, the college can further explore the mechanisms and characteristics of faults, thereby enhancing the reliability and safety of aerospace rotor systems.

Moreover, PT900 significantly reduces the probability of human judgment errors, greatly improving the automation level of the system and effectively reducing labor costs. This achievement will not only promote the scientific research progress of the college in the aviation field, but also cultivate more outstanding professional talents for the development of China's aviation industry and make important contributions to ensuring aviation safety.

Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics was founded in October 1952 and is one of the first aviation higher education institutions established by the People's Republic of China. In 1978, it was designated as a national key university by the State Council; In 1981, it was approved by the State Council to become one of the first universities in China with the authority to confer doctoral degrees; Entered the national "211 Project" construction in 1996; In 2000, the Graduate School was established with the approval of the Ministry of Education; In 2011, it became a key construction university for the "985 Project Advantageous Discipline Innovation Platform"; In 2017, it entered the national "Double First Class" construction sequence, and the existing disciplines of aviation science and technology, mechanics, and control science and engineering were selected for the second round of "First Class Discipline" construction list. The school is currently under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. 

December 2012 and April 2021, Industrial Signed agreements with the Ministry of Information Technology and the Civil Aviation Administration of China to jointly establish Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In 2018 and 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Education, and Jiangsu Province signed two agreements to jointly build Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In the more than 70 years of its educational history, the people of China Southern Airlines have adhered to the tradition of "serving the country through aviation", followed the excellent school spirit of "unity, frugality, practicality, and innovation", and practiced the school motto of "wisdom surrounds all things, justice the world". They have weathered the wind and rain, forged ahead, and continuously promoted the school's leapfrog development. At present, the school has developed into a high-level research-oriented university with a focus on engineering, a combination of science and engineering, and coordinated development of multiple disciplines such as engineering, science, economics, management, and humanities, with characteristics of aviation, aerospace, and civil aviation. The school currently has 23 colleges and 231 research institutions, including 12 national research platforms such as the National Key Laboratory of Aerospace Structural Mechanics and Control and the National Key Laboratory of Helicopter Dynamics. It also has 3 national innovation centers, 1 provincial and ministerial collaborative innovation center, 1 national local joint engineering research center, 2 national engineering basic course teaching bases, 1 national top student training base for basic disciplines, and 4 national experimental teaching demonstration centers. There are 67 undergraduate majors, 32 first level discipline authorization points for master's and civil engineering, 20 first level discipline authorization points for doctoral and civil engineering, 4 categories of degree authorization for doctoral and civil engineering majors, 16 categories of degree authorization for master's and civil engineering majors, and 17 postdoctoral mobile stations. There are currently 2 national key disciplines in aviation science and technology, mechanics at the first level, 9 national key disciplines at the first level, 2 national key (cultivated) disciplines, and 10 national defense characteristic disciplines.
